Synopsis
Paul (Matthias Schweighöfer) is in the relationship business. Paul doesn’t do the flowers and love side of things; rather he works for a company which deals exclusively in the ending of relationships. Can’t get the guts to tell your once-loved one that it just isn’t working any more? Then you only need to call the break-up agency and Paul will do the dirty work for you. Paul is the agent’s most successful employee, and is only a handful of break-ups away from the magic 1000 mark – achieving this number will see him made a partner at the agency. Everything is on-track until Paul is hired to break-up the relationship of one of the partner’s daughters. Paul is sent to her house to confront Toto (Milan Peschel) and end what Toto thinks is the perfect relationship. Unlike other break-ups this one doesn’t go smoothly, and Paul is unable to rid himself of the very distraught Toto. In trying to get away from Toto, Paul attracts the attention of the Police and loses his license. What’s he to do? He has a week to break-up the relationships needed to get up to the magic number to become a partner, but he is unable to drive and he has a crazy guy harassing him. The solution? Toto becomes Paul’s driver – if he can’t get rid of him he may as well be useful. And so the two set off for a hair-brained adventure of break-ups and mishaps around Germany.
